Vladimir Putin has been making threats towards Ukraine, specifically targeting Kyiv, stating that Russia's missile could be used to attack "decision-making centres" in the city. This threat comes after a comprehensive strike on Ukraine's energy grid by Russia. Putin has also praised US President-elect Donald Trump as an "experienced" and "intelligent" politician, capable of finding solutions.

Vladimir Putin
Kremlin
1. Unfortunately, in the history of the United States, various incidents have happened. I think he [Trump] is intelligent and I hope he's cautious and understands this.
2. At present, the Ministry of Defence and the General Staff are selecting targets to hit on Ukrainian territory. These could be military facilities, defence and industrial enterprises, or decision-making centres in Kyiv.
3. I was amazed that uncivilised methods of struggle were used on Trump, including an assassination attempt, and it happened more than once. By the way, in my opinion, he is not safe now, either … But I think he is an experienced man, I hope he will be careful.
4. The kinetic impact is powerful, like a meteorite falling.
5. As far as I imagine the again-elected president, he is actually an intelligent person, already quite experienced. I think he will find a solution.
6. Of course, we will respond to the ongoing strikes on Russian territory with long-range Western-made missiles, as has already been said, including by possibly continuing to test the Oreshnik in combat conditions, as was done on Nov 21.
7. We do not rule out the use of Oreshnik against the military, military-industrial facilities or decision-making centres, including in Kyiv.
Volodymyr Zelenskiy
Ukraine Government
1. Cluster warheads [are] a particularly dangerous type of Russian weaponry used against civilians.
Mykahilo Podolyak
Ukraine Government
1. Even people who say they are ready for negotiations understand that they are only possible if we force Russia to the table. Negotiations through strength, not through capitulation.
Joe Biden
Democratic Party
1. On this day, my message to the Ukrainian people is clear: the United States stands with you.
2. This attack is outrageous and serves as yet another reminder of the urgency and importance of supporting the Ukrainian people in their defence against Russian aggression.
Keith Kellogg
Republican Party
1. If Ukraine doesn't want to negotiate, fine, but then accept the fact that you can have enormous losses in your cities and accept the fact that you will have your children killed, accept the fact that you don't have 130,000 dead, you will have 230,000 [to] 250,000.
Donald Trump
Republican Party
1. Together, we will secure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH, and Make America, and the World, SAFE AGAIN!
